fassade is wearing off

is there a way
out of your wall
too used are you
to sealing cracks and crevices
let them loosely evolve
the beauty of their randomness
you maintain and tie
no air to breathe
but sealed crevices
a shiny wall
fassade is wearing off

and still you cannot sink

one chains you on land
others come and go like waves
all you want is sink
the chain is too strong
the waves too unsteady
you refuse to swim
still you cannot sink
i cannot even imagine
your tragedy

mirror maze

in a mirror maze
every single mirror
a window of its own
holding one picture
one tiny part of you
all of them in silence
all of them in tears
someone must have covered
the other parts of you

but calotropis on the sidewalk

at last
the sea remembers
every creature
that has swum in its ocean
and crawled onto land
creepers not deserving
to be human
but calotropis on the sidewalk
will stand
don't drink my sweet soul
when all you need is salty water

deep blue sky

my heart beats so hard
i know i missed a part
tears are swallowed again
and again they form
the deep blue sky

with the tide

what a world of waves
only flooding the shore
when it is calling them
no movement in themselves
they just live with the tide
the moon is giving to them
and nobody to blame

black pearl

black pearl kept
in furious waters
deep dark blue sea
i can hear its heart beat
but will never reach
deep enough to unlock
its shine haunting me

they drank

emptied clouds
trees sounding hollow
you took the resin
filled their roots with poison
and because they had chosen
to trust
they drank

in midair

i just stood

and waited 

in midair, empty skies

for you

to make the last two steps

and then it started raining

some drops

rain fell on my lips, some drops
rushed down

the curls on my shoulder

a waterfall
played drums in my navel

I stood in the monsoon

drinking sweetness, swirled
in the misty light
of a summer night’s moon

can i not

stand by myself

i will lean on you

for wonderous hights

let me grow

will you

Merging more than eight lines

They seem to be locked up with me
Walking a step away from the sidewalk
Drains them for a while
Only to rise somewhere, unexpectedly
Into a moment of wanting
Stiffness spreads through bones
Entangled in a huge crossover
Merging more than eight lines
The heart never stops beating
But the veins empty out, sometimes

Fall and flight

I want you to dance
On the rim of tumbling autumn leaves
Carried away
Carried so high
There is no difference
Between fall and flight
Tell me of its light
When you reach a star
Make it shine on my face 
When I cannot reach 
For you, I know
At least your direction

Two coupled wagons

Maybe I missed the platform call
But then I realise
I have entered a train
Heading into every direction
We just need to open the door
Why is it so difficult
To hold balance between
Two coupled wagons

rain washed my heart

snow fell on my chest

leaves grew in my hair

rain washed my heart

slowing down my heartbeat

counting every second

that you have lost somewhere

tainted rush

intoxicating pigments

numbed all your senses

radiant choice of colours

looks grey and pale to you

thrusting fragile fingers

dull-tipped rusty needles

may hold a tainted rush

no justice can undo

The Cat

The cat came to my front door

And asked her way in

Knowing I would not open

But she would try again

She asked at my backdoor

I would not let her in

The rats played in the attic

Why would she try again

the right hand of sleep

the right hand of sleep strokes my chest

why is it so difficult to speak

when distance is rare

i hold my breath lest it is heard

in between every finger that is truly there

can we only speak of dreams

into the silence of a mountain lake

swallowing the strain of climbing to that peak

and all regret of leaving it

when we plunge our heads into cool water

strip off every shell and dive

gently

into the relieve of a slightly bended morning

I am too small

Your vessel is flooded. 

There is no island. 

But you swim. 

Though you can’t swim. 

Water carries you. 

Because it must. 

I am too small. 

Can only
Empty lakes with cups. 

But I can keep trying. 

So long as you swim.

red ambers

love is to dare

a share in two chambers

glare of red ambers

until despair
